@Sean DillonAt 18, you're in a prime position to start building wealth with low expenses and plenty of time to scale.

Many banks wont touch deals that are sub 90% occupancy, so you could negotiate short term seller financing to help give you runway to make the building bankable for a refinance while you reposition it.

If there are certain areas that you're looking where there aren't any four Plexes, consider building one.

This morning I evicted an inherited tenant in a building that I"ve now owned for just over a year. 

It looks like you are doing an affordable build based on the cost but hard to say since you didnt provide info on the build itself such as square footage and finishes.

I’m drawn to real estate not just for financial freedom but to build a legacy for my family while contributing positively to communities.

Building on existing land helps eliminate the issue of land scarcity, which is a significant challenge due to California’s high real estate prices.

Build an ADU.

I live in Miami and build in columbus and in our market there's very few places where you can get a cash flowing asset. you have to build it. are you considering building as a strategy? 

My business partner and I purchased a commercial office building a few years ago with creative financing.
